   clearly states you have a sin nature and you commit acts of sin.   
      
   7) Trying to justify yourself by denying you sin and by accusing   
   everyone but yourself of being a sinner:   
      
   Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a   
   tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I   
   thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust,   
   adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give   
   tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off,   
   would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,   
   ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to   
   his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts   
   himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted   
   (Luke 18:10-14, ESV).   
      
   That's you the Pharisee constantly condemning everyone else, all day   
   long, of being a "sinner-whore etc., while you pretend like you have   
   been walking around in sinless perfection.   
      
   8) Discouraging God's people from following the very source of   
   truth--God's word-- as if they should put it down and walk away from it   
   to listen to what you said in instead:
